You did that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you hit the picket lines, it\u2019s the first time we saw real progress at the table. You did that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the government seems content to prolong this strike and its impact on Canadians, I know you have the collective power to get us to a fair deal in the coming days.
